Horrific Accident at Woodbine Standardbreds on Monday night

[cobra_king]

Was there live and it was the worst i've ever seen in my life and i've been in this game a long time. One driver, Robert Sheppard on the 7 horse has a broken leg in two spots, Mario Baillargeon (who was driving the horse that went down, suffered a broken ankle, and Roger Mayotte, on the 4 horse, broke his arm in three places, his shoulder and pelvic bone. No horses were severely injured which is a minor miracle. Accident happens just after the one minute mark.

Can't get it to embed properly, maybe someone can help out in that regard.

Couldn't have been worse than the one at Dover Downs a few years ago. I was watching that one live when it happened, at least one driver died.

Ack, you know what? I don't even want to see. That sucks.

Hal Belote was the Dover driver who lost his life. Needless to say the end result was worse than this, but the "look" of that accident would make you believe he'd get up just like every other time. It's amazing nobody perished in this one.

Thanks for sharing. I was unaware of the incident.
